That’s awesome! I love knitting and all yarn-related crafts. Sometimes I go to yarn stores just so I can pet the pretty yarn. I even got locked into a yarn store once because I was so absorbed in the textures and colors that I didn’t notice they had closed for lunch. (Talk about truth being crazier than fiction! You can’t make this stuff up.)

There’s something about repetitive motion, though, that really helps my brain recharge and allows stories to unravel. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve discovered solutions to problems with my stories by knitting a few rows and clearing my head.

I also baked some biscuits which was fun. I also love browsing pinterest, but WARNING it is a huge time suck!
